Mexican investor counsel for Peru
Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. is a US law firm with an international clientele, assisting Mexican investors with the US legal dimensions of investing in Peru. Whether you are structuring a Peruvian venture through a US entity, navigating US securities laws for a cross-border capital raise, or addressing US tax implications of a Peruvian investment, our firm provides US-side counsel. For Peru-law matters, we collaborate with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel, admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar; his role is limited to Peru-law matters in coordination with our US-admitted attorneys. All US-law aspects are handled by Mr. Sris and the US-admitted attorneys of the firm.
US legal considerations for Mexican investors in Peru
Mexican investors pursuing opportunities in Peru often encounter US legal requirements that can affect the structure, financing, and tax treatment of the investment. A Mexican investor may, for example, hold the Peruvian venture through a US limited liability company or corporation, which triggers US entity formation, governance, and reporting obligations. If the investment involves US-based limited partners or US-sourced capital, US securities laws—including the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940—may apply. Additionally, US tax rules, such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and the reporting requirements for foreign corporations under the Internal Revenue Code, can impose compliance burdens on Mexican investors with US connections.
The firm’s US-admitted attorneys advise on these US-law aspects, helping Mexican investors structure their Peruvian ventures in a manner that addresses US regulatory and tax considerations. We do not practice Peru law; for Peruvian corporate, tax, and regulatory matters, we work with Martín Mayandía, our Peru Of Counsel, who is admitted to practice law in Peru (2009) and not admitted in any US state bar. This division of responsibility ensures that each jurisdiction’s legal requirements are handled by an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction.
How Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. assists Mexican investors
Our approach begins with an analysis of the US legal touchpoints in the investor’s proposed Peru venture. Mr. Sris, the firm’s founder and managing attorney, leads the US-side review, drawing on over 120 years of combined legal experience across the firm’s Of Counsel network. We identify US entity formation needs, securities law implications, and tax reporting obligations. We then coordinate with Martín Mayandía, who provides Peru-law advice on local corporate registration, tax incentives, and regulatory compliance. The two sides collaborate as needed, but each attorney remains strictly within the bounds of their licensure.
This model allows Mexican investors to receive integrated counsel without the risk of unauthorized practice of law. The firm’s US principal location is in Virginia, and consultations are by appointment only. To discuss your cross-border investment, call (888) 437-7747.

Frequently asked questions
What US legal issues should a Mexican investor consider when investing in Peru?
A Mexican investor should evaluate US entity structure, securities laws, and tax reporting obligations if the investment touches the United States. For example, using a US limited liability company to hold Peruvian assets may subject the investor to US state filing requirements and federal tax identification numbers. If the investment involves US investors or US capital markets, the Securities Act of 1933 and related regulations may apply. US tax laws, including FATCA and the reporting of foreign corporations, can also impose compliance duties. Our US-admitted attorneys help identify and address these US-law issues, while our Peru Of Counsel handles Peruvian legal requirements.
